HOUSE: Spectacular Isolation

Kitchen

Clive Barrington was the builder whose workforce lived on site for
weeks at a time, occupying the quarters and cookhouse once used by
the men who worked on Mount Algidus when it was a sheep station.
Clive's firm is one of the most respected in New Zealand and he is
rightly proud of this project, which stretched the skills and
ingenuity of even his experienced team.

Finally, there was the interior decorator, London-based Colin
Orchard, an old friend of the Smileys who had worked on two of
their previous houses in Sydney and who had been part of the team
at Colefax and Fowler in the Eighties.
